Programmers can double their productivity and increase quality of code?!? If AI can do that for you, you're not a programmer, you're writing some HTML.

We tried AI a lot and I've never seen a single useful result. Every single time, even for pretty trivial things, we had to fix several bugs and the time we needed went up instead of down. Every. Single. Time.

Best AI can do for programmers is context sensitive auto completion.

Another thing where AI might be useful is static code analysis.

Why would I need AI for that? We should really stop trying to slap AI on everything. Also no, I'm not that big of a fan of wasting energy on web crawlers.

Yes I agree on that. A lot of people write "C with classes" and then complain...

"americans" is a bad name but it's more specific than "united statesians". But I would fully support dissolving that country and founding a new one (or multiple) with a better name.

I'm a full time C++ developer, mostly doing high performance data processing and some visualization and TUI tools, and as someone loving C++, it's not as simple as you frame it. In sufficiently complex code you still have to deal with these problems. Rust has some good mechanisms in place to avoid these and there are things on the way for c++26 though.

Nintendo fans will vote just like Apple Fans.

I've been playing Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel recently on PC and despite being relatively action heavy it's 99% left hand (WASD + Q + space)

But if your tool chain is worth anything the size of each binary shouldn't be bigger. To oversimplify things a bit: it's just #ifdefs and a proper tool chain.

In the web development world on the other hand everything was always awful. Every nodejs package has half the world as dependencies...

No, because forking a distro and updating some hundred thousands of PCs is not done in a week.

Edit: and why would we go with Ubuntu...

Living under a rock eh?
